From my experience, there's not a lot of flexibility with establishing tabbing order. Version 8 now has an "automatic" feature which is pretty good, but in your situation you'll probably need to start at the beginning and just click on the fields in the order you are wanting.

Hello pbarron.

Thanks for your answer.

I use this "automatic" feature, but with the forms I have to create, this feature can not work as I need it. With round 150 fields per page its a lot of work to set the tab order that needful here.

Best regards.

Hello Dirk:

I'm not sure if this will help or if it's what you need, but if you have tab 15 and you want to make it tab 9, hold down the ctrl key while clicking on tab 8 and then click on tab 15. Tab 15 will change to tab 9 and everything from tab 9 on will renumber itself.
